    -----
    Tuesday I added the cleaning crew:

    3 - Mexican Turbo's
    5 - Astri Snails
    10 - Hermits

    --
    Wednesday -
    Water was CRYSTAL CLEAR and the crew where hard at work.



    Today - (Thursday)
    Prams are still perfect..

    Added my 2 clowns.


    Stock remaining to be put in the new tank:
    1 - colt coral
    1 - pulsing xena
    2 - gsp
    2 - long tentacle nneennoommmeee'zz
    1 - maroon clown

    On the 28th, the lights will be here. If prams are still good, I'll run the new lights for a day before I put the GSP in.. then the colt... and the anenome's will be another week or two.

    Sounds like the tank is getting ready to give you many years of enjoyment.

    The move is complete...
    All I'm waiting on are the 2 additional power heads I ordered and my new light system which should be here tomorrow but I wanted to get a post out today with some new pictures!

    Only thing missing is the pulsing xena, which is behind the rock formation cause for some reason it don't like the water flow upfront and is always closed... so for now, it's in the back till it becomes more happy with the tank in-general.

    We got LIGHTS!

    Here is what I USED to have.....

    I also had to move my colt cause the snails kept knocking it down.. So as a result, the tank is a lil cloudy today but you can see the improvement already. The ONLY thing that is not happy is my pulsing xenia as seen below:

    I think it's due to the fact it was behind the reef and I put it upfront now that I found a better spot where conditions are not being mean to it anymore.

    anywho,
    We are moving right along!

    Skimmer also went back in the tank today, now that the new lights allow me to pop it back in.


    Gizmo moment...

    ** AHH, BRIGHT LIGHT -- BRIGHT LIGHT **
